Linux Tutorial Glossary - swapping

swapping

The action taken by the operating system when the system is short of physical memory. The changable portion (data) of a process OS moved from physical memory to the swap device. Note that traditionally swapping referred to moving entire processes to the swap device, Linux does not swap, but moves pages to the swap device.
